As will I. The card that was on my account no longer exists but its the other info that they can use to get credit cards, etc. in your name.
Sony epically failed at protecting their users information and some sort of reparations need to be given to everyone who is a user.
For all of the X-Bots, this can happen to you guys too.

Yes. Go to your bank in the morning and cancel your debit card.

Make sure it's maxed out.
I don't really think that's a good idea in my case. "Mom, I just bought myself a 40-inch 3D TV", wouldn't roll well with the folks.
Looks like henz0 isn't taking this all too well.
Looking at the FAQ at the Sony PlayStation Blog, hopefully it's going to be up within a week. I'll dread the day they'll release a giant patch to download for this when that happens.
Thread title changed again. Probably should've added "take a bath" as well.

Ummmmmm. So what about the part where Sony knew 6 days ago that almost all PSN accounts were affected and instead of telling people from the jump waits until they about to restore service.Originally Posted by sn00pee
As if paying would have affected anything in this situation.

they knew they had an intrusion, they didnt know what was compromised
they shut down the entire network so they could backtrack the actions that occurred on the server
theyve reported what they found yesterday today, so please get out of here with your assumptions of what they knew and hid 6 days ago, that is unless you have proof

And that and paying for the service is what relation? absolutely none. Whether one payed for the service or not, it still would have happened. Sony goofed. If you think 59.99/yr subscriptions = better security, you got another thing coming.Originally Posted by RustyShackleford

This is a comment from the psn blog.
"People,
Stop being so ignorant. Your Credit Card information is fine. One hacker won’t be able to go to the location of 75 million psn user’s houses. Sony has done their best to keep up updated, they were working on fixing the Network (WHICH IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IN THIS MATTER, THE GAMING!) and while doing an investigation found that data may have been compromised. Human beings are dumb and inconsiderate creatures when they have no idea how to think Logically. USE YOUR BRAINS FOR ONCE!"
this guy made sense... one person couldn't possibly have that much power to have the info of over 75+ million psn users (i dont think that this counts the numbers worldwide).

Just listened to Podcast Beyond- PSN fail ( still a regular show on Thursday for those who follow)
They are more upset on the bad PR job Sony has done and how sony has lost the casual audience. How much damage is sony going to take from this? honestly i think its going to be a big hit because people will not trust them with their CC and with NGP only on the PSN its not looking good

Got it queued up to play after the Canucks game. Listen everyweek, as well as the Game Scoop and the Xbox ones.
Rusty, you could be arguing water is wet and I'd argue with you, simply because you have no class and are uncouth.

This. Anyone with half a brain and a little bit of common sense knows you don't have to run and cancel your credit card over this. Nevermind one hacker, it could be hundreds of hackers and you still wouldn't have to cancel your credit card. There are millions of users folks, stop being silly.

[h1]Sony 'Reviewing' PSN Refunds[/h1][h2]Miffed that you're paying for subscriptions you can't use? Sony hears you.[/h2]
Although today's big story is that the PlayStation Network is still offline and Sony is admitting a hacker got personal information for PlayStation 3 and PSP users, an interesting "refund" tidbit has come to light. Since the PlayStation Network went offline on April 20, 2011, players who have paid for subscriptions such as PlayStation Plus and DC Universe Online have wondered if they'd get money back as they can't use the services. Sony has been mum on the topic, but a new FAQ sheds a bit of light.
From the official FAQ...

Sony's official statement:
Add [email protected] to your address book
===================================
PlayStation(R)Network
===================================
Valued PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity Customer:
We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011,
certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account
information was compromised in connection with an illegal and
unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this
intrusion, we have:
1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full
and complete investigation into what happened; and
3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our
network infrastructure by rebuilding our system to provide you
with greater protection of your personal information.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill
as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and
efficiently as practicable.
Although we are still investigating the details of this incident,
we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following
information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country,
email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login,
and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data,
including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip),
and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may
have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your
dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have
been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit
card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have
provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity,
out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit
card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have
been obtained.
For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email,
telephone and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive
information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email,
asking for your credit card number, social security number or other
personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information,
you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation
Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that
you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation
Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or
accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them as well.
To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we
encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and
to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information
for those who wish to consider it:
- U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually
from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report,
visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.
- We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S.
credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus
place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps
to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can
make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however,
that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you,
it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your
identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others
are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a
fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report,
please contact any one of the agencies listed below:
Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013
Equifax: 800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241
TransUnion: 800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division,
P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790
- You may wish to visit the website of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at
www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect
yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice
on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or
suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General,
and the FTC. For North Carolina residents, the Attorney General can be
contacted at 9001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-9001; telephone
(877) 566-7226; or www.ncdoj.gov. For Maryland residents, the Attorney
General can be contacted at 200 St. Paul Place, 16th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202;
telephone: (88743-0023; or www.oag.state.md.us.
We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this
incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the
clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes
information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that
additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information.
Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is
our utmost priority. Please contact us at 1-800-345-7669 should you have any
additional questions.
Sincerely,
Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment
